What Is Chicken Tikka Masala?
One of the world’s most-loved dishes: tender pieces of marinated chicken simmered in a rich, creamy tomato-based sauce with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, garam masala and turmeric. Warm, aromatic and savory, with depth that comes from authentic spicing, not heat.

Halal-Friendly Tikka Masala Catering
We proudly serve the Chicagoland halal community. Our Chicken Tikka Masala can be prepared with supplier-certified halal chicken on request. Let us know when you place your order and we’ll handle the rest.
Personal Chefs, Not Delivery Drivers
Most caterers reheat pre-made food and drop it off. You get lukewarm trays and hope for the best. With Frato’s, a personal chef prepares your Tikka Masala fresh, delivers it hot, sets it up, and handles last-minute requests or dietary questions. A chef can stay to serve on request.
